Ferrari Mailing List: Trivial pursuit: Thermistor = oil sending unit

[Michel Savard (mysavard]

Remember when I had my trouble with the oil temperature gauge. I fixed it with 
the help of this list. The oil sending unit was disconnected.
But, one thing I couldn’t find in my parts manual was the famous oil unit 
sender (or something like that) before going under the car. I went under the 
car anyway and found the problem.
Then, I went back to the parts manual and found that the name for the oil 
sending unit is actually THERMISTOR (tav 18 #34- #107576).

Why is that ?
